Please Report Dead Bees

In the wake of two recent bumblebee die offs in Eugene and Portland resulting from pesticide poisoning, it is especially important to report suspected pesticide poisonings to the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

If you are a beekeeper who finds more than 50 dead bees in any single area or  colony, contact the Oregon Department of Agriculture: pestx@oda.state.or.us or (503) 986-6466.
